Chapter 713 - 702: Loulan Ruins
Xiong Ba has most likely become a Fire Zombie.
This is something Ding Ling could never have imagined.
He doesn’t understand what Xiong Ba has gone through, but that doesn’t stop him from tracking him down to make sense of things.
He won’t stop until things are clear.
If such a zombie appears in the world.
Besides him.
No one in Jiuzhou would be able to deal with it.
Because it’s truly unsolvable!
An undying, immortal Fire Zombie wreaking havoc in the human world. If it’s allowed to wander aimlessly for years, Jiuzhou will surely be devastated by it alone.
"There are no records of the birth of Fire Zombies in the Wind and Cloud World. It seems that the arrival of the players has completely broken the storyline, causing some mysterious creatures in hidden corners to start awakening."
At times, Ding Ling would shrink the ground into inches, covering hundreds of feet in an instant. Sometimes he would fly, transforming into a stream of light, chasing after Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba’s fiery aura was growing dimmer and dimmer.
No need to say.
Xiong Ba’s main purpose in refining corpses must have been to absorb the Essence Qi from those people for his own use.
"It seems that even though his consciousness is muddled, his instincts to become stronger and to survive are still there."
The instinct to become stronger prompts him to kill.
The instinct to survive prompts him to run.
"A monster strong person left with only instincts cannot be allowed to remain."
Ding Ling made a decision in his heart.
Once the source of the Fire Zombie is found out.
Such a Fire Zombie like Xiong Ba, he will completely suppress and destroy!
If not, once he ascends, who else in this world can subdue and suppress the Fire Zombie?
Whizz, whizz!
Xiong Ba and Ding Ling, one in front and one behind, one with flames all over his body, shooting through the sky like a flaming meteor, the other was a starlight flying past.
After a moment.
Xiong Ba suddenly crashed headlong and feet upward, straight towards the lower realm of the Western Desert, boom! A loud noise.
Xiong Ba’s figure suddenly disappeared.
Ding Ling’s eyes slightly widened, thinking it might be another otherworldly space?!
He flew down, his feet landing on the desert.
This was the place of destruction for the Ancient Loulan Kingdom of the Western Regions.
Ding Ling has read countless ancient texts.
His understanding of the Wind and Cloud World surpasses that of countless natives.
So, with just a glance, using the Feng Shui Skill, Stargazing Skill, Tracking and Tracing skills, Ding Ling immediately realized where this place was.
"The Ancient Loulan Kingdom was buried and obliterated by sand overnight."
"And according to legend, before that, the Ancient Loulan Kingdom had a fierce war with neighboring countries over a divine object!"
"The war caused Loulan’s national strength to decline, and after a sandstorm, it disappeared into the river of history."
This information comes from the ancient texts Ding Ling read.
At this moment, Xiong Ba suddenly disappeared from here.
In his surprise, Ding Ling couldn’t help but use his Stargazing Skill, Mechanical Skill, Feng Shui Skill, etc., to observe carefully.
Sure enough.
After a period of time.
He found a clue. It was a place with abnormal Spiritual Vitality fluctuations where Xiong Ba disappeared. An ordinary person walking by wouldn’t notice it at all.
But if subjected to a heavy impact, it could temporarily break a barrier to enter an unknowable divine realm.
"Perhaps that’s where the Fire Zombie originated."
Ding Ling drew the Emperor’s Sword, circling around in place.
Sure enough.
No abnormality.
An ordinary Innate Strong Person came here, even if a great battle occurred, it would probably be difficult to stir the waves of this otherworldly space.
And Xiong Ba is obviously stronger than an Innate Strong Person.
Ding Ling naturally shouldn’t say much.
He only slightly amplified his Vigorous Qi tenfold and passed through the abnormally fluctuating realm with his entire body.
The next instant!
Ding Ling’s vision turned black and then bright.
He found himself surprisingly in a tomb site.
Here, gusts of sand flew, a dim scene, looking around, one could vaguely see some remnants of buildings and palaces.
With a flash, Ding Ling traversed an unknown number of feet, standing at the entrance of a palace. Upon looking, the palace had long decayed beyond repair, but faintly, on a stone carving, the words ’Loulan’ could be seen.
"Indeed, this is the buried Ancient Loulan Kingdom. No wonder no one in the world can find it; it’s hidden this deeply. Finding this place is like seeing ghosts."
Ding Ling sighed inwardly, activating ’Tracking and Tracing’, and headed deep into the ruins of this ancient kingdom. Before long, Ding Ling came to a stop.
He stood in front of a giant turtle shell.
There were also unusual Spiritual Vitality fluctuations on the turtle’s back.
Very obviously.
Xiong Ba disappeared from there.
"An otherworldly space layered over another. But compared to the otherworldly space that leads to the Loulan ruins, the space here seems to be perpetually open. Even ordinary people can sense it."
Ding Ling stepped forward, about to walk through this ’portal’, into the second otherworldly space.
Suddenly, he sensed something unusual about the turtle’s back, so he slightly lowered his head and examined it carefully.
Sure enough.
What he saw shocked him.
"The turtle’s back seems to be inscribed with an astonishing Magic and Skill!"
It was Ding Ling who sensed the exceptional divinity fluctuations from the turtle’s back.
"This turtle’s back has divinity..."
"And the purity of the divinity far surpasses that of the Fire Qilin. It seems to be an ancient? Prehistoric? Or early era adult auspicious beast?"
The answer is hard to know.
But Ding Ling knows that since there are extraordinary aspects.
There must be hidden opportunities.
He observed and indeed discovered.
His eyes locked onto the dozens of characters engraved on the turtle’s back.
Each word was crafted with meticulously chosen wording, containing countless ways and principles.
With just a glance.
Ding Ling almost got lost.
But after all, his cultivation is impressive, and he quickly recovered, silently praising:
"Incredible. The person who engraved on this turtle’s back is definitely a High Tier of the Shattering Level! But such a strong person is likely also dead."
An auspicious beast whose divinity surpasses the Fire Qilin.
And with a turtle’s back.
It can only be a Dragon Turtle!
And it is rumored that the Dragon Turtle’s essence blood was obtained by Xiaao Sanxiaao, who knows if this Dragon Turtle was stripped of its essence blood by Xiaao Sanxiaao, leading to it becoming weak, resulting in a disaster and then dying here, or because of other reasons?
Ding Ling did not delve into it.
He just read through the dozens of inscribed words once.
The words are few.
But they contain myriad transformations, seemingly full of the ultimate principles of the universe, infinite changes.
Ding Ling was also unable to comprehend entry level understanding in a short time.
But it doesn’t matter.
He merely recollected slightly, and a book immediately appeared on the bookshelf of the library.
The next moment.
[No Desire Easy Formula Internal Power Heart Method Full Level]
[Inner Power Value +300]
In just an instant, a drop of transparent True Water appeared in Ding Ling’s dantian.
This drop of True Water seemed to contain a supreme, immeasurable sense of being without desire or demand, natural with heaven and earth, eternally unchanged!
When Ding Ling slightly circulated this heart method, his whole person became peaceful, as if in harmony with this realm, becoming ethereal, wise, and extraordinary.
[Non-Desire Easiest Skill Full Level]
The External Skill was also mastered in an instant.
In a moment.
Ding Ling seemed to have mastered countless different skills.
Among them was the skill of leveraging force, Star Shifting, Heart Method Healing, and various incredible Sword Skills!
